First time out on Winni

We were there late Saturday (the 26th) afternoon. We came up the west side of Governor’s Island heading north under the bridge there was a good chop from the wind coming down from Meredith. Once we got out to the Weirs area it was combined with the usual boat wakes for some confused conditions. We were in a 26ft cruiser so aside from some refreshing spray coming over the windshield there was no problem. I would not have wanted to be out there in a smaller boat. You will probably have more pleasant experiences by boating in some of the less congested areas on weekends, I know we do. The wind should be less during the summer as well.
